Abstract
The effective control of information can lead to a reduction in product introduction lead‐times and consequently time to market. Product data management (PDM) systems are increasingly being utilized to achieve this control. Reviews the current usage, funtionality and technology of such systems, and outlines the implementation of a PDM system within ICL Manufacturing. Describes the key stages of the implementation and the benefits to be gained.
